Ingredients:
| 6 large carrots, juiced | 1 mango, small | ¼ cup protein powder, optional |
| 3 apples, juiced | 12 strawberries | ½ cup carrot and apple pulp |
| 1 banana | ¼ cup chia seeds |
Directions
- Using your juicer, juice your carrots and apples together. Set aside the juice, and save the pulp.
- Using a blender, combine all of your ingredients together and blend until smooth.
- Pour the mixture evenly onto teflex sheets – you’ll want them to be roughly ¼ inch thick.
- Place sheets in the dehydrator on the lowest setting for 5-6 hours.
- Once cooled, slice and roll up into desired serving sizes. Wrap in saran wrap for easy grab and go storage!
Make It This Way
Get creative with your fruits and vegetables to suit your tastes – try using raspberries, blueberries, or even beets!
If you’re using protein powder, we suggest using a non-flavoured one so it doesn’t change the taste of your delicious fruit snacks.
Try This
If you don’t have a dehydrator, you can still make these roll-ups in the oven. Just set your oven to the lowest temperature, and use a wooden spoon handle to prop the oven door open slightly. The timing should still be the same, however use your judgment.
I remember eating fruit roll ups as a kid at my best friends house so seeing these makes me so nostalgic. A great way to take a classic treat and incorporate a healthy twist. They look delicious and I would definitely choose these over the original too! Such a great snack idea for adults and children alike, thanks so much for sharing, these look great and nutritious! Its hard to believe that these would be healthy for you which makes them that much more fun :D
Hello Olivia,
These are a much better alternative for both adults and children alike! Plus you can make any flavour you want.
Enjoy this new way to get your fruit in.
Have a healthy day.
I have heard of fruit rollups before and enjoyed them a decent degree as a child-they were always a bit too sweet for me. Veggie roll-ups from real veggies sound amazing as well as more satisfying due to the nice amount of fiber and the fruit/veggie roll-ups you suggest is a cool idea! Seeing this recipe idea makes me more excited to get in the kitchen and get creating...I can imagine these roll-ups as good on there own or as a decoration in other recipes :D
Hello Rachel,
Indeed, when fruit roll up's come to mind, we often think the sugar filled ones from the store, but they can be healthy too, like this recipe. We hope you enjoy this natural take.
